This supplier looks pretty good , has anyone bought from them “GenuineDealz”.

They have all the heavy duty so-called ‘marine’ battery cable components or they can make up your custom cable according to your specs: color, end, awg etc. Because as stated, proper crimping is necessary to ensure long lasting, low-resistance connections, getting the cable built by an outfit with the right crimper is a good way to go.

Those kinds of site are hit or miss. Usually some guy in his garage assembling cables when you order, it seems. Sometimes he is having a good day and sometimes a bad day or a new guy on the crimping machine. Or maybe he goes on vacation for a week and you wait.

Of course, we have a large hydraulic crimper. If we did not have that, I would be having them made to order by somebody who did.

If you have a two battery installation, do they sell post battery clamps that can handle a 2/0 going in, and a 2/0 going out?

Since I didn't have large enough heat shrink tubing, or the batter connectors, I had a local shop do them. They charged $15 a cable, plus the cost of the parts, to cut, crimp, and heat shrink the cables. And I was able to get them immediately.
